Marrow-freezing demon getting at me chilled with fear gurgled and moaned and then Silence thundering through space gasped ghastly terror took away my voice as it cries phantom like a melancholy wail of wildness rebelling untamed to the eerie sound of hushed silence surrounding

***********************************

IN THE LAKE OF MY SOUL

In the lake of my soul

you threw a stone

you watch its rings

you watch me close

your eyes never blink.

Dragon asleep in my soul

heard the stone

got awake

you knew all along

it would respond your call.

The face in the lake

blurred by the waves

I cannot forsake

engraved in this soul

hoarsely says my name.

In the lake afire of my soul

no more respite

no more escape

you don`t let me flinch

you are my torment

you are my love

your eyes never blink.

*******************************************************************

Lonely mermaid with translucent smile

you ride in waters not friendly

Legends are past

your world has gone

crossed over to other shores.

But under the rocks of Time

that face

carved in the stone,

under the castle

the anchor,

under your scales

yet unsung a love.

Memories that won’t let you die

still hold you

You remember the song

but the words are no more

The tune is in the air

harp lost in the stream

No other man but him

would you wish to allure.

*************************************

(1988)

Running up

to the top of the stone steps.

Breathless

I and the temple.

Between our silence

heart beat

drums

the shape of sound

*************************************

(1985)

Go and pick up

all the fallen stars in the ocean.

a big net I need

and a boat to carry them

and gentleness not to break them

and tender heart

to love them.

Fragile they are

and pure as crystals.

They spark and

easily dissolve

and leave me

with my little dreams

forlorn.

**********************************************************

You and I …

secret is the love

forbidden are the words _

in the unearthly light

of the stars

we cast no shadow.

These two poems “LOULAN” and “TAKLA MAKAN DREAMING” came to life after reading a book and seeing a documentary on the ancient city of Loulan in the Takla Makan desert and the mummy just discovered at that time.
